Clearly formulate and regularly inform all employees about the strategic goals and objectives of the Company, so that each employee understands how and where the Company is moving in its development, and what its requirements and expectations are for employees.

Define a balanced set of metrics based on strategic goals and objectives to assess the overall performance of the Company.

Continue to develop the employee assessment system making it more objective and transparent by using generally recognized international methods and approaches in the assessment process that have been adapted to the needs and features of the Company.

Build a comprehensive system that uses assessment results and determines their impact on remuneration, career path, rotation and transfers, as well as identification of training and development needs.

Regularly monitor external and internal changes, make the necessary adjustments to the performance management system as well as the system of indicators and goals.

MOTIVATION
